acceptance speech

Lyrics

the damage has been done, and i can't make you stay, but all i'm asking is for 30 seconds on the clock, to talk before you walk away, 'cause as the strings swell in, it's clear to me what could have been, if i was ready when you were, here's my acceptance speech, wish that i lived up to what you thought i'd be, 'cause now you're moving on, we're past the point of no return, but i accept the point i've had to learn, i tried to win and lost it all, now you're a hostile crowd, and i've got nothing written down, i'm just fighting back the rage, knowing i'm nothing to you now, and i don't know what to do, 'cause it's so hard to face the truth, start to explain, but you stop me before i can get through, and you let the strings swell in, don't want to know what could have been, if i was ready when you were, but please hear my acceptance speech, i wish that i lived up to what you thought i'd be, now you're already gone, you watch me from out in the crowd, and laugh as the results are read aloud, that i'm the biggest loser of them all, 'cause i don't have you, i don't have you, and there's nothing left to do, so hard to let go, so hard but i know, we're past the point of no return, but i accept the point i've had to learn, i wanted more and lost it all, 'cause i don't have you, i don't have you, i don't have you
